SCHOOL OF CHEMICAL ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY

Crystallization is a key technology in the production of many high value products with critical property requirements in terms of purity, crystal size distribution, crystal shape, and molecular level solid structures. Recently, crystallization is also recognized as a promising technique for improving the undesirable physical properties of chemical and pharmaceutical product, through the formation of certain crystal structures consisting of either one single component (polymorphism) or multi-component (solvates, salts, co- crystals).

Inspired by recent scientific development in the area of crystallization science and engineering, we are pleased to announce that Tianjin University will organize and host "2018 Workshop on Crystallization Science and Engineering”which will be held in Tianjin on May 22-24, 2018. This workshop intends to bring together scientists from both academy and industry to present and discuss the current research, as well as to identify the new challenges in the research field of crystallization science and engineering.

● The workshop will include but not limited to the following topics:

● Fundamentals of crystallization (thermodynamics and kinetics)

● Process design and optimization (monitoring and modeling)

● Development and Design of new solid state products (polymorphs, solvates, amorphous, salts and co-crystals)

All participants interested in attending this workshop will be warmly welcomed by the organizing committee of this workshop. We are looking forward to seeing you all in Tianjin University in May of 2018.
